Although this will probably draw a well worded and highly sarcastic retort, I have to disagree :). Firstly, on my scale "impacted in some way" is way better than being completely down. And secondly, we have had instances where the public side of our network was hammered by DDOS, while the private part of our network (including most connections to carriers and large clients) was not affected. So it does make a difference, at least in our environment.

If you use a carrier and they are attacked, chances are you're going to be impacted in some way, regardless if you are directly connected.
